Splinter

This release marks my first anniversary on the fx(hash) platform! I want to extend a huge thank you to everyone for a fantastic year, and I'm looking forward to many more in the generative-art world!

The basic algorithm is an evolution of the one I used in my first release, Raked Strokes. Instead of mimicking a brush with parallel segments, I'm using perpendicular line segments to define the overall abstract shape and then drawing each line in a simulated media. This approach blends my first attempts at natural media with everything I've learned in the past year.

Viewing in desktop Chrome is recommended for the best results.
